[quote name='Greggo' timestamp='1388175199' post='2319216'] I'm not suddenly a rounds hater [/quote] Me neither. Got rounds on my Mustang and although I like the feel of flats I will probably stay with rounds for the best tonal range for that instrument.

I'm not falling for that one!

I love dressing up. It gives you permission to be a different person.

Three guitars!? Best of luck mate. If you want to be heard in that mix (never mind stand out), DI is your friend!

I used to think of myself as a guitarist but for some years now I would say I am musician who is proficient at guitar, bass, and singing (not necessarily in that order).

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1388160761' post='2319009'] thats my ideal plan, would something like this do the trick? http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/MX882.aspx as the small mixers ive scene have no di out? [/quote] That would do it. Not sure whether it is overkill though!

Behringer make several graphic EQs in rack format.

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1388152800' post='2318910'] so up for trying this a temp fix (who knows it could work) but im guessing its safer to just buy a xlr to jack and use the di out on the amp rather than inline with the speaker cables as i dnt want my amp to go pop. andy [/quote] One solution would be to run a mic and the balanced DI out from your amp into two channels of a small mixer, and take that signal to the PA.

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1388150886' post='2318886'] I've got one of these: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/GI100.aspx It allegedly gives the sound of a 4x12 - you're supposed to be able to put it between a power amp and speaker using the direct link to cabinet and then DI from power amp to mixer. I like mine, it sounds pretty awesome! [/quote] Yes that is what I incorrectly described as a G100 in my earlier post. The two 20 dB pads mean it can cope with anything from line level to speaker level.

[quote name='0175westwood29' timestamp='1388079892' post='2318369'] Im basically looking at taking the di out of the head, and mixing it with the mic sound, So wouldnt be using the speaker output. So that shouldnt involve the head being at risk should it? [/quote] No that would be fine

Well this survey seems to have provoked massive apathy amongst the BC community!

... but yes for OS X. I do everything in a standalone HD recorder and mix to my Mac, so that will be very useful. Thanks for the PSA.

What a top chap! No excuses for me.

[quote name='Freddie75' timestamp='1388090160' post='2318493'] That's a very kind offer sir - I will be in touch in the new year if you don't mind! Thanks Freddie [/quote] You're more than welcome Freddie!

I never would have put flats on my bass but I bought a 5-er fitted with flats and the penny dropped!

Be very careful if using any DI connected to the speaker output of a Class D amp such as the Bass Terror. Whereas conventional speaker outs usually have one terminal earthed (bridged mode excepted), this is often not the case with Class D. The result of connecting such a terminal to earth is usually a pop, a puff of smoke, and then silence. Although DI boxes usually have an earth lift switch, it is all too easy to set this wrong and fry your amp. To me, your best option is to connect a speaker-emulating DI box to a dedicated DI output. This should take the unnatural fizziness out of the sound without risking your amp. I have had good results with the Behringer G100, but there are plenty of other options.

Greetings Dragunov, welcome aboard!

[quote name='SpaceChick' timestamp='1387723702' post='2314890'] OK my Super Twin arrived on Friday, and all I can say is that I love it!! Light as anything, fabulous tone, amazing power. I am a giddy happy bassist. If people don't like them, that's their prerogative, but I am firmly in the Hell Yeah camp now. It's is AWESOME!!! Didn't think a piece of bass equipment could make me so happy! lol! I'm listening to our rehearsal recording from this morning and my bass sounds amazing, so clear, so much clarity. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT. [/quote] Excellent! Any plans to bring your Pink Floyd band to Swindon? Both the Vic and Riffs Bar do tribute bands. [quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1388047120' post='2318012'] Bit late to the party here. I'm a cabinet maker by trade.I have built cabs for years. I used to build high end hifi gear. I now build BFM cabs to order amongst many other things. I have owned BF cabs and purely out of curiosity I have opened them up for a peek inside. They are very very well made - far better than most big brand cabs I have taken apart. They have clearly been exceptionaly well developed. They are very transparent and very loud. Alex knows his stuff and personally I'd happily buy from him. Price wise they are very competitive when put alongside other stuff built this well. Do I use one? No. I found a sound I love elsewhere but I would have no hesitation in trying barefaced cabs again. [/quote] That's good to know, and tbh exactly what us users want hear!

From reading the Pitchblack Pro manual, you have two options: 1. Bass > tuner (front panel @ instrument level) > pre-amp > power amp or 2. Bass > preamp > tuner (rear panel @ line level) > power amp Edit: Just noticed you are in Swindon, happy to pop round and give you a hand if you like. I also have some spare rack mount bolts if they would be useful to you.

Ho ho, someone got a good buy!
